A celebration for heroes

Commemorating those who have served for the United States remains an important duty for citizens, and what better place to celebrate these heroes than Palm Beach County’s own historical society? On Saturday, the Historical Society of Palm Beach County will host its annual family-friendly event, "Armed Forces Day," which pays tribute to all members of the United States armed forces. Highlights include "Touch a Truck Military Edition," medal displays, arts and crafts, Vietnam War photo exhibition, veterans organizations and food trucks.

When hundreds of voices come together in song, it’s an accomplishment, but when hundreds of children’s voices do the same — it’s instantaneously delightful. Kids from across Palm Beach County come together on the stage of the Kravis Center’s Dreyfoos Hall Sunday afternoon to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Young Singers of the Palm Beaches. This showcase performance includes 350 talented and passionate young singers, guaranteed to tug at your heartstrings and fill the hall with laughter and joy.

Need a relaxing timeout just to clear your head? Escape to Tequesta this weekend and immerse yourself in the world of mythical creatures. Fashion your very own animal in clay. It could be a mermaid, griffin, fairy, unicorn, gargoyle, angel —maybe even a devil. Noted sculptor and artist Cheryl Tall leads this two-day, hands-on ceramics workshop at the Lighthouse ArtCenter’s School of Art facility. It’s a perfect chance to use your imagination and create something unique and just for you. All materials are provided and the school offers a peaceful, supportive and inspiring open-air workshop —along with superb guidance and equipment.
